Getting the Love You Want
Helen LaKelly Hunt & Harville Hendrix
Every recurring fight with your partner is old business — wounds from childhood replayed with someone who was unconsciously chosen to echo them. This microbook reveals why we fall for who we fall for, how romantic love gives way to power struggle, and how structured tools like the Imago Dialogue can turn conflict into the raw material for genuine healing and lasting connection.
Listen to the intro
Who it is for
For anyone stuck in the same argument on repeat, who senses that love should feel safer than this, or who wants to understand why their closest relationship also triggers their deepest pain.
Lessons
- Understand why you chose your partner — and what your Imago reveals about your unfinished childhood wounds.
- Practice the Imago Dialogue to truly hear your partner without reacting, defending, or shutting down.
- Discover how your sharpest complaints about your partner hide the unmet needs you've carried since childhood.
Key Takeaways
- Ninety percent of chronic frustrations with a partner are old childhood wounds wearing a new face — only ten percent belong to the actual person in front of you.
- The Imago Dialogue — Mirroring, Validating, and Empathizing — is the only bridge that crosses two entirely separate inner realities without collapsing.
- A conscious partnership is not a feeling you wait for; it is a daily decision to close the exits, eliminate negativity, and give love as a gift rather than a demand.
